Sami Zayn is essentially a Golden Retriever made human.
This is best Sami description I've ever read. Bravo! 👏
Lpl😂
Well said
The Bloodline is like Clifford the big red dog. Roman the big red dog and Zayn it’s owner
I always see this reference and honestly, it's one of the best descriptions of Sami
Much respect to Sami Zayn it must be hard to talk about Jay Briscoe RIP
He technically had a try out with wwe year's ago they made like a story about it in roh rip jay briscoe what a legend the sky is the limits
Last Monday on RAW, during that “Trial” segment (which was incredible, imho), Sami looked genuinely emotional when Jey Uso basically saved him. Sami is very, very good at his craft, but I can’t help but think he was able to take some of that emotion from Jay Briscoe’s passing, and use it to better that performance, maybe even subconsciously.
Sami is a great guy, and so was Jay Briscoe. My heart goes out to Mark, and the entire family. Selfishly, it is a shame for us as fans that we won’t get to see them in the ring together again. All of those guys- Same, Kevin Owens/Steen, FTR, and too many others to list, were just fire in the the ring with Dem Boys.
Jay Brisco was a G
I agree, Skull.
It's really surprising to see Sami to show emotions when we know Zayn as a goofy sarcastic heel on TV.
@@chrisradzion2148 mkmmmmmmmmmm😅mmkk
From El Génerico to Sami Zayn, Rami Sebei is just a great human being.
Who da fuq is Rami?
@@CaptainKeithMark its Sami's real name. He might be known as Canadian but his family background is Syrian. A quick check on google wouldve told u that
@@CaptainKeithMark Rami
I thought el generico was running an orphanage
@@edhern619 haha nice
It’s hard not to love Sami Zayn .. incredible person .. incredible wrestler
I know right he's the goat
A “great wrestler?”. Not even close.
Not wrestler though 😅
@@Frozenfan1965 Ahh yes, your ideal type of wrestler must be big sweaty muscular men.
Similar taste to a someone we are familiar with, Vincent Kennedy McMahon.
Vince, is this your burner account?
Wow. This is beautiful. I never thought I’d see the day that bt/WWE mention Jay Briscoe. Fantastic guys, fantastic
They mentioned it on air actually.
WWE also mentioned Jay Briscoe's passing on commentary at NXT and SmackDown last week.
Bt is like a fan from iwc. They just broadcast wwe but they dont have any control in it.
It's not that surprising. Triple H is more open to things like that and half of WWE knew and wrestled Jay.
Since Triple h took over WWE have mentioned outside WWE stuff like Cole mentioning Don West passing away.Classy stuff now💖💖
This is crazy. Jay was my buddy!!! I've got some amazing memories. What a legacy he left!!
If this is true then my condolences to u man. Jay had that old school wrestling vibe with a mix of attitude era and Ruthless aggression era in him. (Mark as well) Absolutely loved “Dem Boyz” Prayers to their families 🙏
@Venchy Moet yes they are both awesome guys. So genuine! Jamins wife was my roommate when i first met them. At first they weren't sure about me, and i sure all hell wasn't sure about them lol! Over no time at all, we became boys, and they've had my back several times.
My condolences man!!!😢 Jay seemed like he was a real one… I got to see him in person a few times.
If this is true I'm deeply sorry for your loss
He is now getting some recognition in amother level.
who are they talking about who hasn't responded to sami
@@usaidriyaz1925 Bret Hart
I didn’t like Sami at first but watching him for a year, he is one my favorite wrestlers
I really admire that Sami is not tribalistic and mentioned AEW on such a huge platform like BT Sport. It shows that WWE may be starting to not live in its own reality that only fits in celebrities for a quick rating. It’s nice to see
Let's be real here. This is Sami Zayn. He said AEW live on Raw during the Vince Era. He is the Honorary Uce. Sami is the man!
Honestly only the IWC is tribalistic because the majority of todays wrestlers all came up together in the indie scene. Sami and KO came up with the Briscoes, the Young Bucks, Jay Lethal, etc because they were all in ROH together before they came to WWE/NXT.
@@juanitob Hell even where they're in opposite companys many of them have all but stated (or just flat out stated point blank) they they keep in regular contact with each other and are often on good terms with each other.
The majority of them even probs want those dream matches the fans keep talking about just as much as we do. just seems to be the bureaucratic side of the buisness preventing it.
Majority of superstars on AEW and WWE are not with the tribalism. That’s purely the fans. Most of the wrestlers are either professionals or buddy-buddy.
TRIBALISTIC. Very interesting choice of words 😂
Sami's ability to express himself and make people relate is just unearthly
If Sami is talking I will listen. I appreciate his mostly unfiltered emotional responses to this and everything else. Really is a treasure.
Rotten
The Briscoes vs El Generico & Kevin Steen was legendary. RIP Jay
I saw it live in person in Chicago, I didn't know who was who and I hadn't been watching wrestling at all at the time anf I basically got dragged there by a friend, first off it was a great match with a really great crowd, what happened afterwards though is the really memorable part
@@ConwayFitty I just rewatched that match on Honor club the other day. That time in ROH is super nostalgic for me
The first time I ever saw Sami, Kevin, and the Briscoes was on an ROH PPV in 2007. They had insane matches, especially the ladder war.
One of my favourites
I am just glad that all companies realize the impact Jay briscoe had and allow all wrestlers to talk about him or morn his loss
It's great to see Sami and Kevin getting such massive pushes. They have been overlooked and tossed aside for years and were always two of the hardest/sharpest workers.
Prayers to the Pugh family!! RIP JAMIN!!!! A real man & true legend!!!
Sami is such an amazing human being. I get where hes coming from. Makes a lot of sense. All love 🖤❤
To have a "No this isn't true" reaction is completely normal. I usually have those too.
Me too. I went through it 3 times in my life, when both of my grandmas passed away, along with my paternal grandpa.
I admire the honesty and vulnerability he shares in this video. Everyone processes grief differently. RIP Jamin Pugh ❤
What a down to earth, real dude. Glad he’s receiving the accolades he deserves
"I don't have this thing(gesturing to head) figured out."
God, me too man. Honestly though, Sami is amazing, and it really is a shame losing Jay like that. Wishing his family well, absolutely.
Man this guy is so humble. Much respect!
As a Sami Zayn fan, I feel so sorry for him not having the opportunity to face Jay Briscoe now that he died in a car accident. I gotta give Sami tons of credit for overcoming fear and I don’t see him shed tears very often considering how tough he is like I’m a tough 27 year old man who hardly sheds tears every now and then when I notice something bizarre and sad.
He and KO fought the Briscoes back then
Sorry sir let others say your tough don’t self announce it
Not only is he a great human, also clearly has a fantastic taste in music
one of the most compassionate and genuine wrestlers alive love this guy
I give respect to Sami Zayn he hard to talk about Jay briscoe his old friend
It's always incredibly sad to lose someone before their time. Rest in Peace Jay Briscoe. Appreciate every moment, savour every single day.
bro I use to watch Ring of honor Wrestling and I didn't know about Jay Briscoe Died bro that messed up 😳
@@kenyattatucker1279 rippp
Such a genuine and real human! So much respect for him
Sami is such a good human being
The loss of jay briscoe has really hit us all hard, genuine pain and listening to sami talk about him broke me, he sounds like he was the most amazing person and I'm just happy i had the pleasure of seeing him wrestle live
What broke me was when Tony Khan put on a entire RoH show dedicated to Jay, plus made the main event of Dynamite (AEW's main show) Mark vs Jay Lethal, then having everyone come out at the end of the show. I had no idea Jay was this loved backstage. I only discovered Dem Boys a few years ago, and have been in awe ever since.
This shows Tony Khan's heart. That TK thinks past just the wrestler; he thinks about the human.
Lmao 😂 sheep riding over someone they don’t know
I didn't like sami b4 . But now I respect him.
One of the reasons why I love Sami regardless if he's a heel or a face. He's a great human being
Sami is so real, he's amazing.
Sami Zayn is such a stand-up guy and a class act. And he gets cool points for the Propaghandi tee.
It's sad that one person has to die for people to love them and acknowledge their body of work.
Sami is such a honest person
He is now becoming my favorite wrestler
Too be honest I never knew who Jay was until now R.I.P
How real is this guy. Commendable. Love Sami Zayn.
It's still real to me DAMNIT!!
100% fake
@@neil1jnr Naa. I doubt that.
I remember Sami Zayn when he was active. I was there watching him live. Along with Kevin Owens, R-Truth, new day, Enzo amore, the shield, triple H. It was a great night of WWE. But he just brought that energy
he was active??? dude is still active...
He still wrestles every week, bruv.
R.I.P TO: those great wrestlers! 😥& Many family blessings to all Amen!🙏 💖 🥰 👍
Sami reminds me so much of Foley personality wise
We all cope differently, we do it in our own way, every single one of us
Sami Zayn is just a kool dude all around. he has become one of my top 5 faves. humble and very straight forward but with kindness. keep up the great work.
Sami as WWE Champion would be the greatest thing for wrestling since Mankind became WWE Champion.
Sami Zayn is the best of us
Sami has always been underrated and underappreciated it's great to see him finally get to the top , R.I.P Jay Briscoe ❤️
Sami Zayn is a great human
Sammy is a fantastic wrestler and person. I wish him the best.
Much respect to the legend sami zayn ❤
Man sami zayn is such likeable fella man is doing his thing right now much respect
there's something deeply sad about Sami Zayn I feel, I mean that in a good way not bad...
RIP Jay Briscoe
I admire the fact that Sami thinks he couldn’t be the face of the WWE due to him being such a humble sumgun, but-respectfully-he’s wrong.
Foley transcended convention to be the guy, and if he can do it, then the fans are ready for a Sami run.
Future champion 🏆💪🙌😎👏👌
The fact that his wife burst into tears shows how close they were
Sammy has a lot of mick foley in him, in a good way obviously
sami should be in hollywood
I really relate to him here. I'm a vet and have had more loss thank I really care to think about. Most every time I hear news of someone else passing, I don't really recognize it for a while. Recently I was sad and mourned a day or two later after I really had time to think about it. Then a few weeks later football was starting and I realized we would never play fantasy football again. I broke down and laid in bed for 3 days. I'm not sure it's healthy or not, but that's what I do
He is such a beautiful and wonderful human being. We need more Sami Zayn's in the world.
Sami is a good dude.
Sami is a jewel
Mannn!!! I can't describe how much I love sami zayn I'm waiting for that moment when sami will win Royal Rumble or WWE title he is so underrated superstar❤️✨
I hope HHH will make him main superstar before his retirement once in his life🔥❤️
I'm not a believer but if there's one thing that keeps me going forward is imagining everybody up there being together and meeting each other and sharing their passion once they don't live down there with us all anymore. So I hope Jay will wrestle Owen Hart, Umaga, Dusty Rhodes, just about everybody that's not there anymore and could put up dream matches that would make Meltzer go 8 stars.
Nice shirt Sami! Underrated band.
Love Sami's shirt.
Total respect to Sammy for being really honest explaining his personal grieving process. Deaths can be so weird. Especially when your life is at full speed at the time. He understands it may hit him when he slows down (and it will). But his own personal life is in full flow at the moment. He's gotta keep his chin up right now more than ever.
A horrible loss to the IWC. Seemed a total father.
Rest In Peace “Jay Briscoe” Jamin Pugh. Reach for the sky boyyyyy ☁️
I love Sami zayn so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
What a chill dude.
I really enjoy Sami’s emotional honesty.
this dude is so real and genuine.
generico is a wonderful human-being
A hesitation may be the last time. When the feeling of reaching out to anyone, do it. Life is truly precious.
So happy for Sami having this spotlight shine on him right now and he is
Killing It to say the leas!!! It's a wrestling crime that The Briscoe Brothers never got to have a run in WWE or AEW. They had it all in the ring and I hope Marc can continue to flourish in AEW.
I love Sami
Sami is NOTHING like his on-screen character in real life. Love how down to earth he is
Can we do more interviews of Sami? He talk really smooth in interviews.
Sami Z is really a great guy... This is authentic him.
I really appreciate he just let Sami talk, not like a lot of interviewers that would interject or interrupt.
Sami needs a hug for this one.
Very humble n honorable of sami. Much respect
Love this guy
He's giving Mick Foley vibes and I'm here for it
Screech has really come along.
Very humble of Sami at the end, he is such an amazing person
First ROH show I saw was Steen and Generico vs the Briscoes. Just great guys all around
Sami is so likeable.
He's intelligent, articulate, moralistic. He's really grown on me this last year. The modern day Mick Foley.
I can't say who is the greatest wrestler ever l, but I can say that Jay Briscoe was my favorite. RIP
The honesty I appreciate so very much. I can relate to Sami and how one can compartmentalize a loss and the feelings that come with it.
Sami Zayn is an incredibly underrated worker & honestly should’ve been a world champion.
exactly Sami!!!!! This is something others should do too, if ya know someone that was in ya life and meant something or had an impact.... a few words of appreciation will go far... give them their flowers today... I have done it, and need to do more ...
Sami is such an amazing performer. It is hard to hate him as a heel because of genuine characters!
"This is a very Canadian moment."
I have the same emotional thing as Sami
Sami Zayn is a phenomenal person and a phenomenal wrestler. His storyline with the Bloodline was top notch
Proud fellow Canadian here. Love Sami Zayn
Sami zayn is money he is so goooooddddddd they need to run with this
This guy is the Mick Foley of this generation
Yuppers
Sami deserves to win a title give him the intercontinental or tag me titles
Sami is definitely one of the good guys in the business. Even people who were maybe sour on him years ago, like Jim Cornette, say good things about him these days. I got to meet Sami a few years ago, and he was just an great guy; I’ve always loved his work. I think it was amazing that even on WWE (during NXT, and then Smackdown), they acknowledged Jay Briscoe, a guy who never wrestled for them. It was like with Brodie Lee, although he was part of WWE for years (another good guy I was lucky enough to have met). It’s sad, but beautiful in a way, to see that world come together after a tragedy, no matter who they work for. These guys have all, at some point, hung out and wrestled each other, and in this current generation of wrestlers around Sami’s age, it is like a big extended family in some ways. (It seems like all these guys, be it AEW or WWE, all can be traced back to the same two promotions- OVW, and especially Ring of Honor. It seems everyone started out or spent significant time in ROH).
